I suspected you might toss out that scenario.

Again, in an area of radar coverage without FF (due to workload), it would
be 121.50 and 7700 on the transponder if I didn't know the nearest ATC
facility, or "Mayday" on a familiar frequency.

In the interest of full disclosure, I also carry a GPS-equipped personal
locator beacon. Given what you fly over, you might want to consider this
purchase, too, if you haven't already.

A personal ELT-esque device would probably be a very wise addition. Thank
you for the suggestion.
